In the 1990s, Anna Bligh built on
what had gone before. Her initiative
required new inner-city projects to
invest a percentage of the capital cost
in art. Queensland now has a Public
Art Agency, backed by legislation that
makes it mandatory for all public works
projects to fund public art works in
new buildings. Of course, there have
been grumbles, but it has paid off,
not only by enhancing the city, but by
encouraging local artists.
In, on, or alongside newer buildings
or in parks, almost every space in
Brisbane has something to admire,
from Anthony Pryor’s Approaching
Equilibrium outside the Queensland
Art Gallery at South Bank, to the
metal kangaroo “resting” on an
inner-city seat.
You can do your own thing, just
meandering about, or be a bit more
organised and download a map and
information on one (or all) of the four
public art trails devised by the city
council (see www.brisbane.qld.gov.
au/facilities-recreation/...trails/public-
art-trails).
Better still, sign up for a free
guided walk with Brisbane Greeters
(www.brisbanegreeters.com.au).
Knowledgeable volunteers bring
history to life and enhance the
experience, making it a terrific way
to see and appreciate the wealth of
outdoor art in Queensland’s capital.

For those who want to delve deeper, not just around Brisbane, but
throughout the State, it’s worth tracking down the 2004 book,
Monumental Queensland: Signposts on a Cultural Landscape by
Lisanne Gibson and Joanna Besley. The book’s illustrations include
a representative selection of Brisbane’s extensive artworks and an
appendix with artists and addresses, too.
